Acknowledgements

Research for this second edition took place in the summer of 2007 in the company of Jonathan Williams, whose presence and generosity made it a particularly memorable trip. I am truly grateful to him, and to Jeff and Maryann Williams for their hospitality, offers of transport, and enthusiastic support; to Alan Payne and my wife who accompanied me on previous visits to this beautiful region, and to the numerous hut keepers, gîte owners and tourist office staff who provided invaluable information and advice. Thanks too, to readers of the first edition, especially Keith Reeves, who wrote with suggestions for new routes. The staff at Cicerone Press have once again come up trumps with a new design for this edition, with freshly drawn maps by Clare Crooke, and the inclusion of numerous additional photographs. As ever, I am the beneficiary of their combined skills and friendship, for this guidebook is the product of team effort. My sincere thanks to all who had a hand in its production.
